al have been all over California and the
Western States" said C. L. Hussey to a
Stoekman representative Saturday, "but the
finest ranch have'ever seen is the home ami
ranch of T. B. Hickey, in Antelope valley,
this State. He has reduced ranching 10
science, and has inaugurated system II
carrying it on that have never seen excelled.
His property is about twenty eight miles
long by FIVE in breadth, and the soil is
black, sandy loan, in which anything will
thrive. Although he has but small Por-
lion of his ranch sown to alfalfa, his crol
this season will be about $1,000 tons, all q
which will be converted into beef. 1t is
grand sight to see his army Of employees leav
headquarters in the morning for the fields,
some Of which are ten miles distant. Th,
| day l was there twelve moving machine
! he AIDED the procession, and were followed by
number Of wagons, each containing SIX
men, who were divided into squads, each
quad having some parliclar work to perform
| Everything is conducted with military pre-
cison, the orders of The foreman being obey
d with promptness.
81 should judge that there were at leas
forty miles of irrgating ditches, supplied
with water from the Walker river, a stream
| believe as large as the Truckee. ditch
ing machine is on the ranch, with which :
mile and quarter Of ditch can be complet
ed daily, and it is the intention Of Mr.
Hickey to operate it this season in const'uc
ing bitches, so that a large portion of Tx
rolling lands of the foothills may be culu
waited. Since his irrigation bitches hav'
been in operation a lake Of considerable di
mansions has been formed in a basin abou
zen miles from the house, and has been nam
ed Bertha lake, in honor of his younge
daughter.
"Another peculiar incident in connection
with the irrigation is that OF a we'll whici
was dug TO depth of ninety feet befor
. water was struck. Now the water reache
to the level of the ground, and at times ov
crfows.
"Mf. Hickey also has garden, about nv
acres in extent, in which is grswn almo,
every known vegetable and fruit. To show
you what an immense establishment it is,
, will state that one man is kept constant,
employed in gathering berries. fruit and veg
elables for his ranch hands, q wagon load 0
produce being supplied them every day.
"Although MIR. Hickey grows everything
IN profuson, all that is available is put int
beef, as he says he will sell nothing tina
can't walk At The time OF my visit Their
he made a shipment of 100 head Of bee
S cattle to the San Francisco market, and l.
prepared to ship many hundred more whel
needed. He has at all times larg- numbe
Of beef cattle feeding in pasture, all ready

which he always gets the top price.

the many intesestihg sights saw there, ane

But 10 those who suffer the depressing effects
of summer debility, the disagreeable symp.

such we say, give Hoods sarsaparilla a
trial. 1t will purity your blood, tone up
and strengthen your body. expel every trace
OF scroiula, correct bllliousness. and pos.

Died Of Grief.

The editor OF this paper has been trying
this Summer to get starter for chicken
ranch, For several weeks we have patient
ly watched our setting hens and after they
have brought off their brood, we as patient
ly watched the growth and development OF
the little chicks. We have come to the
conclusion after killing our own cat and
.hooting half dozen of our neighbours cats.
mat the facilities for raising chickens around
our shop are not good. Last Tuesday morn
ng a coyote or some other noxious animal
visited our ranch and stole four of our
young chickens from the old hen, as she sat
in an old barrel, which were all the chick
ms she had. From the amount Of feathers
scattered around the place, it is evident that
t,e old hen made a gallant fight for her
young. She did not succeed though in saw
ing any Of them, and all that day, she rar
around the yard clucking and calling for the
.,ule ones. Occasionally, she would 81
down on the ground and apparently b
asleep. We watched her closely, thinking
hat perhaps the animal that got away with
he little chicks had in some way injured
he mother. This however was not the case
The old hen when she apparently went Il
.leep, would drop her head to one side anC
Il ter plaintive cry, which sounded like
sob. For TWO days she kept up this perfor
nance and on the evening Of the secont
lays grieving she died. After her death "
examined the corpse and found that bidd
was not at all injured by the animal, bu
naturally died from grief over the loss
her four chicks.

A band of Bohemia's merry wa nderers
pitched their tents under the trees at the
lower end of Pike street, last Teusday. The
women of the party made thorough can
vass of the town seeking patronage in their
calling-fortune telling. The men traded
norscs and performed other light work tina
called for no more exertlon than the Vaughn
of their tongues. In the evenings quite a
lumber of young people would visit tn
camp TO see the Gypsies, listen to the music
and find out what tn: Fates had in store for
hem.

Mil Burned.

Last Saturday night the quartz mill owned
by Ex-Governor Blasdel. al Rockland, was
totally destroyed by fire. The mill was sit.
uated at point short distance below the
town, and was only being run day times, on
account Of the scarcity OF water, consequent
ly when the fire broke out there was not a
man on the premises. The blaze was seen
from The town and every effort was made to
stop the fire as soon as the men could get to
he mill. Too much Roadway had been
made by the flames, though, and the struc-
ture was totally destroyed. The full partic.
ulars of how the FIRE originated could not be
learned up to the time we went 10 press;
nor could it be ascertain ed whether or not
the property was insured.

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver i.
misery. Indigestion is foe to good natures
The human digestive apparatus is one OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. It is easily put out of or1er.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits. and many other things which ought
not 10 be, have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people SO
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember;-No happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for a.bottle. Seventy.6ve cents.
